Hyper_Kidz Franchise · 2024 FDD

Answer from 2024 FDD Document

Under the Multi-Unit Development Agreement, we grant you the right to develop and operate the number of Hyper Kidz Businesses in the Development Area that is specified in the minimum performance schedule, which is Attachment 2 to the Multi-Unit Development Agreement. The Development Area is typically described in terms of municipal or county boundaries but may be defined by zip codes or as a specified trade area in a municipality. The actual size of the Development Area will vary depending upon the availability of contiguous markets, our long-range development plans, your financial and operational resources, population and market conditions. Our designation of a particular Development Area is not an assurance or warranty that there are a sufficient number of suitable sites for Hyper Kidz Businesses in the Development Area for you to meet your minimum performance schedule. We will approve sites for future/additional units under a Multi Unit Agreement using our then current site criteria. The responsibility to locate and prepare a sufficient number of suitable sites is solely yours and we have no obligation to approve sites which do not meet our criteria so you can meet the minimum performance schedule.

Except as described below, during the term of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement, we and our affiliates will not operate or grant a franchise for the operation of Hyper Kidz Businesses to be located within the Development Area. However, we have the right to terminate this exclusivity if you are not in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement and all of the Franchise Agreements signed under it.

What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to the 2024 Hyper Kidz Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Area in a Multi-Unit Development Agreement is defined geographically. It is typically described using municipal or county boundaries. However, the Development Area may also be defined by zip codes or as a specified trade area within a municipality. The actual size of a Development Area varies based on factors such as the availability of contiguous markets, Hyper Kidz's long-range development plans, the franchisee's financial and operational resources, and overall population and market conditions.

Hyper Kidz emphasizes that designating a particular Development Area does not guarantee a sufficient number of suitable sites for franchisees to meet their minimum performance schedule. The franchisee bears the sole responsibility for locating and preparing suitable sites, and Hyper Kidz is not obligated to approve sites that do not meet their criteria.

During the term of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement, Hyper Kidz and its affiliates will not operate or grant franchises for Hyper Kidz Businesses within the Development Area, with the exception that Hyper Kidz has the right to terminate this exclusivity if the franchisee fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement and all associated Franchise Agreements.
